About: Hi! I'm Harue, and I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, volunteered at local animal shelters, and rescued my own pet parakeets. Getting to know each animal's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting! 🐶🐱❤️ I've cared for dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, and reptiles, and I love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet company, I'm happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule varies day by day, but I will definitely let you know if I am available during the time of your request! I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs, while keeping you updated with photo updates along the way! 📸 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own, while following their routines, keeping their environment safe, and creating a calm, stress-free experience. Whether we’re going on walks, having playtime, or spending quiet time together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. 🐾
“Jessica was great at looking after my three cats and was able to come up with a quick solution when one of my cats initially refused to eat. My cats seemed to be very comfortable around her.”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.
“Mike was so great to care for my animals. He bonded with the temperamental male Oslo, absolutely left my place and feeding areas spotless. He sent great candid shots of each one of my 3 cats, they looked very relaxed and happy. No issues at all. He was so nice to meet in person and I would book him again any time! Really prompt and communicative.”
“Thank you Joy for dropping in to feed and water my hamster on short notice! Everything went great. Very professional and on time for the meet and greet. Concha is a healthy and happy girl (:”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a life without pets!! I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and would be happy to care for your furry loved ones! I work with 2 nonprofit dog rescue organizations called “Its Yogi’s House” and “PawsforLife” on a regular basis. I am passionate about all animals and have experience with all different types and sizes of dogs.🐾 I am in school part time right now and have a very flexible schedule for whoever’s furry friends will need care! I am happy to accommodate any pets needs as well. I will carefully follow any instructions given and care for your pets as if they were my own! I am willing and happy to accommodate any dog or cats needs.
“Sahirah did a fantastic job watching my fur babies while I was out of town. We did a meet and greet before the actual booking so she could meet my little monsters. During the booking she sent me updates and pictures which are always appreciated since I miss my babies when I’m away. She even got my shy boy Cat to come out from hiding, which is a huge accomplishment!! Would recommend her and hope to book her in the future!!!”
About: Im a huge dog lover. I currently have four dogs and they’re my babies. Ive owned dogs all my life. Dogs make me happy. So caring for them and playing w/ them isn’t a job to me. I’m pretty much home all day. I do my schoolwork at home so im pretty much available all the time. I live on a large cul-de-sac as well. So all walks will be safe from traffic. I do have a pool, so if your pup loves to swim, they’re welcomed to hop in if you’re okay with. My other doggies are very friendly. Two love to sleep and the other two love to play and if there’ any issues with any dogs, theres many places for seperation if needed. The dogs safety and happiness is my priority. I am a freelance video editor so I work remote and always home. Occasionally I have to go out to film but there is someone always home. I have a large fenced yard and two playful young dogs who love other dogs and very well behaved. I've also grown up with many dogs and always my friends and family's first call to dog sit.
“Namie is wonderful with our two big puppers! We've booked with her before and we'll definitely book with her again! She is very caring, communicative, sends us pics of our girls, and lets us know how everything went during her visit. Thank you Namie!”
“April is sweet and good at taking care of pets. I trusted her to drop by my home and feed my cats. She is detailed and always notices anything that needs attention in my home. I would recommend her and reach out to her next time!”
About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.
“We always rely on Shelby to look after our three cats while we are away. She really cares for them and they all love it when she visits them! I have a lot of peace of mind traveling because they are in such good hands.”
“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
“This was our second time hiring Kelly to care for our animals and yet again she was perfect! Her daily updates, competence, and responsibility made it easy to be away without worrying. Kelly is and will continue to be my first choice when trying to find someone -- I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Avery took amazing care of my dog & 2 cats while I went away. She sent personalized updates multiple times a day and cute photos as well! There was a big storm while I was away and she even went out of her way to tidy up my outdoor furniture and made sure everything was secured. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Knoll
This was the second time Priscilla took care of my cat, and in addition to doing a good job with feeding, playing, and litter, she really seemed to develop a bond with him. He can be bitey and I appreciated that she took this in stride. Her photos and timely updates were a joy to receive while I was away.
Alexis did an amazing job looking after Mouchey -- I could tell how well he was looked after by how perky and engaged he was in every picture sent to me, as well as his bounding energy after I returned. She was also super adaptable and communicative: unexpectedly, an ant invasion occurred while I was gone, and Alexis did an outstanding job of letting me know about the situation, moving Mouchey and his items to a separate room, and containing the problem. Even when Mouchey's food was compromised, she immediately went the extra mile and offered to run to the store for a new bag so that we could toss the old one out. Her quick responsiveness and meticulous documentation allowed me to call in additional resources to clean up the issue, and she was so helpful and accommodating during the whole ordeal. Much, much gratitude for all of your help! I absolutely endorse Alexis's professionalism and competence -- I cannot understate how impressive her conduct was during this booking.
Faye is all you could ask for in a pet sitter and more! She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She gave them attention, stimulation, and attended to all of their needs. She kept us well informed of how they were doing and even went to great lengths to battle the ant colony that decide to invade their food dishes while we were away. We are so grateful for all of Faye’s efforts and care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
